ABOUT THE FAIR
Oil & Gas Uzbekistan (OGU) is an international trade fair for the oil and gas industry in Central Asia. The abbreviation OGU stands for “Oil & Gas Uzbekistan” and highlights Uzbekistan’s growing importance as an emerging energy hub in the region. Held annually in the Uzbek capital, Tashkent, the event reflects the city’s increasing role as a key destination for energy investments. The fair is organized by Iteca Exhibitions, a well-established and experienced organizer of international industrial exhibitions.
OGU serves as a central platform for exchange between global industry leaders, government institutions, investors, and professionals. It offers a space for discussing current industry developments, showcasing new technologies, and initiating business partnerships. Key topics include the digitalization of the energy sector, sustainable technologies, environmental and occupational safety, production efficiency, as well as modern solutions for exploration and transport. The exhibition covers the entire value chain of the oil and gas industry—from exploration and production to processing and transportation—and also includes related fields such as engineering, IT, automation, metrology, and geoscientific services.
A particular emphasis is placed on innovative processes and products tailored to the specific needs of the Central Asian market. Technological advancement is brought to life as companies from around the world present solutions for corrosion protection, well completion, energy-saving technologies, and pipeline maintenance—always in the context of regional challenges. Exhibitors represent all areas of the energy sector, including international oil corporations, equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, service providers, and suppliers. Visitors include decision-makers, engineers, project developers, government representatives, and industry experts looking to identify trends and explore business opportunities.
One of the highlights of the fair is its specialized conferences, where industry leaders present their visions and innovations to an international audience. The program is further enriched by a wide range of networking events that promote knowledge exchange and investment opportunities. OGU is not part of a global series of exhibitions—it is a unique, regionally anchored event with international appeal. It makes a valuable contribution to Uzbekistan’s economic diversification and positions Tashkent as the annual meeting place for shaping the future of energy in Eurasia.
The Oil & Gas Uzbekistan (OGU) takes place annually, and therefore for the 29th time previsibly in May 2027 in Tashkent.
